The Japanese Kana Hoe is a handy sickle perfect for weeding and cultivating, particularly in small spots. The blade is extremely sharp and slices through thick stalks. It is particularly good for harvesting thick stemmed vegetables like our "Three Heads Are Better Than One" Cabbages. It measures 10" overall and the blade measures 4 1/2" X 1 1/4" and has a wooden handle.
